Signet Drop Necklace, Shibuichi

Signet Drop Necklace, Shibuichi

Originally designed as a hardware component for the premium Bone Shoulder Necklace. Hand carved master. Lost wax cast in Rhode Island and hand finished in house. The cord is hand braided in house using a kumihimo loom. I splice the clasps in place using an original technique. The sides of the clasp can pass through each other when the slots are lined up precisely perpendicular. The tan cord is pigmented rather than dyed and will fade to pale white or grey (based on your lifestyle) over time. The other colors are all very stable. The yarn from which the cords are braided is polyester, dyed, spun, and waxed here in Maine. All color options will stretch slightly over time. 22” cord including clasps. If you would like a different length please contact me before ordering. Please note, this piece is made to order and may take 6-8 weeks to deliver. ﻿The picture shows this piece in sterling silver.

I am a small business. Myself & occasionally a talented friend assisting. If you send a message I respond. If you order a piece of jewelry I am wrapping it up and shipping it out. Wearing all the hats can be stressful but is also really rewarding. It means I get to know the people who enjoy my work, and to feel like every element of the operation is an expression of who I am. As an artist, I consider it all connected; this website, my business card, the pictures I post on social media and of course the work itself are all part of the same creative output.
